Antigen specific humoral immunity can be characterized by the analysis of serum antibodies. While serological assays for measurement antibody levels are available, these not quantitative in biochemical sense. Yet, understanding immune responses quantitatively on systemic level would need a universal, complete, quantitative, comparable method antigen antibodies selected immunoglobulin classes. Here we describe fluorescent, dual-titration immunoassay, which provides parameters that both necessary and sufficient to characterize response. For validation theory, used recombinant receptor binding domain SARS-CoV-2 as microspot arrays varied concentration from infected persons obtain matrix data. Both titration curves were simultaneously fitted using an algorithm based generalized logistic function adapted analyzing variables binding. We obtained equilibrium affinity constants concentrations distinct These reflect quality effective quantity antibodies, respectively. The proposed fluorescent immunoassay generate truly data is suitable immunological, medical systems biological analysis.

The study of proteins circulating in blood offers tremendous opportunities to diagnose, stratify, or possibly prevent diseases. With recent technological advances and the urgent need understand effects COVID-19, proteomic analysis blood-derived serum plasma has become even more important for studying human biology pathophysiology. Here we provide views perspectives about developments possible clinical applications that use mass-spectrometry(MS)- affinity-based methods. We discuss examples where proteomics contributed valuable insights into SARS-CoV-2 infections, aging, hemostasis offered by combining with genetic data.

Several variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have emerged during the current disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Although antibody cross-reactivity with spike glycoproteins (S) diverse coronaviruses, including endemic common cold coronaviruses (HCoVs), has been documented, it remains unclear whether such responses, typically targeting conserved S2 subunit, contribute to protection when induced by infection or through vaccination. Using a mouse model, we found that prior HCoV-OC43 S–targeted immunity primes neutralizing responses otherwise subimmunogenic SARS-CoV-2 S exposure and promotes S2-targeting responses. Moreover, vaccination elicited antibodies in mice neutralized animal human alphacoronaviruses betacoronaviruses vitro provided degree against challenge vivo. Last, history Wuhan–based vaccination, further broader response than booster Wuhan suggesting may prevent repertoire focusing caused repeated homologous These data establish protective value an vaccine support notion better prepare immune system respond changing nature S1 subunit concern, as well future zoonoses.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein binds the receptor angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE2) and drives virus-host membrane fusion through refolding of its S2 domain. Whereas S1 domain contains high sequence variability, is conserved a promising pan-betacoronavirus vaccine target. We applied cryo-electron tomography to capture intermediates understand inhibition by antibodies stem-helix. Subtomogram averaging revealed ACE2 dimers cross-linking spikes before transitioning into intermediates, which were captured at various stages refolding. Pan-betacoronavirus neutralizing targeting stem-helix bound inhibited prehairpin intermediates. Combined with molecular dynamics simulations, these structures elucidate process SARS-CoV-2 entry reveal how S2-targeting neutralize infectivity arresting

The outcome of infection is dependent on the ability viruses to manipulate infected cell evade immunity, and immune response overcome this evasion. Understanding process key understanding pathogenesis, genetic risk factors, both natural vaccine-induced immunity. SARS-CoV-2 antagonises innate interferon response, but whether it manipulates cellular immunity unclear. An unbiased proteomic analysis determined how surface protein expression altered SARS-CoV-2-infected lung epithelial cells, showing downregulation activating NK ligands B7-H6, MICA, ULBP2, Nectin1, with minimal effects MHC-I. This occurred at level synthesis, could be mediated by Nsp1 Nsp14, correlated a reduction in activation. identifies novel mechanism which host-shutoff Later disease process, strong antibody-dependent activation (ADNKA) developed. These responses were sustained for least 6 months most patients, led high levels pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Depletion spike-specific antibodies confirmed their dominant role neutralisation, these played only minor ADNKA compared other proteins, including ORF3a, Membrane, Nucleocapsid. In contrast, induced following vaccination was focussed solely spike, weaker than infection, not boosted second dose. insights have important implications progression, vaccine efficacy, design.

SARS-CoV-2 encodes four structural proteins incorporated into virions, spike (S), envelope (E), nucleocapsid (N), and membrane (M). M plays an essential role in viral assembly by organizing other through physical interactions directing them to sites of budding. As the most abundant protein a target patient antibodies, is compelling for vaccines therapeutics. Still, structure molecular basis its virion formation are unknown. Here, we present cryo-EM lipid nanodiscs 3.5 Å resolution. forms 50 kDa homodimer that structurally related ORF3a viroporin, suggesting shared ancestral origin.

Camelid single-domain antibodies, also known as nanobodies, can be readily isolated from naïve libraries for specific targets but often bind too weakly to their immediately useful. Laboratory-based genetic engineering methods enhance affinity, termed maturation, deliver useful reagents different areas of biology and potentially medicine. Using the receptor binding domain (RBD) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein a library, we generated closely related nanobodies with micromolar nanomolar affinities. By analyzing structure–activity relationship using X-ray crystallography, cryoelectron microscopy, biophysical methods, observed that higher conformational entropy losses in formation protein–nanobody complex are associated tighter binding. To investigate this, structural ensembles complexes electron microscopy maps correlated fluctuations affinity. This insight guided nanobody improved affinity protein.
